‘My 600-Lb Life’ What Happened To S11 Stephanie Smith?
My 600-Lb Life Season 11 featured the story of Stephanie Smith. Just like many other patients of Dr. Now, the Washington native also suffered from many heartbreaking events in life, which led to her unhealthy relationship with food.
Her father passed away, and she grew up in foster care. She used food as her source of happiness and ballooned to 611 pounds. She also had some issues during her journey with Dr. Now. Keep reading to see what happened to Stephanie after the show.
My 600-Lb Life: Stephanie Smith’s Journey With Dr. Now
Stephanie had one of the most unimpressive journeys in the franchise. The My 600-Lb Life star could only drop 14 pounds and barely put much effort in throughout her program. Stephanie brought herself down to 596 pounds by the end of her episode. Her lack of progress led to her decision to leave the show early. She revealed that she was planning on losing weight away from the cameras. But many of her photos today contradict her claims.
Stephanie also faced controversies by the end of her journey. This came after Dr. Now told her there’s no point for her to come back to Houston if she won’t lose enough weight. Due to this, Dr. Now decided to send her to local doctors for her appointments. But Stephanie never went to the appointments, and even stopped answering Dr. Now’s phone calls. Dr. Now was also upset by how she handled her situation, adding that she seemingly thought she could take a shortcut in her journey by undergoing weight loss surgery without dropping pounds.
What Happened To Stephanie?
Stephanie Smith remained in touch with the fans on social media, especially last year. The My 600-Lb Life star uploaded numerous photos of herself. It’s unclear if she lost weight after the show. However, her last photo from December 2024 indicates that she may have maintained a healthy lifestyle.
Stephanie likes to spend time with her kids today. Her social media page also indicates that she’s now separated and is currently a stay-at-home parent. She also uploaded photos from one of her kids’ school events last June, though it was clear from the pics that she still had some weight to lose.
My 600-Lb Life: Stephanie Smith’s Kids Suffering From Weight Issues?
Aside from Stephanie, some fans have also noticed the worrying appearance of some of her kids. According to some, it seems that the My 600-Lb Life star’s children have inherited her addiction to food, especially her son, who looks unhealthy for his age. Stephanie likes to share photos and clips of her kids eating a variety of sweets.
Stephanie Smith has yet to film a return episode with Dr. Now. However, TLC is currently releasing new Where Are They Now? episodes. At this point, fans can only hope that Stephanie will make a comeback to share updates about her progress.
